Seed Mixes/Food Plots

Douglas SWCD has native grass and forb (flowers) seed mixes available to landowners for conservation practices. Our staff will assist landowners with seed mixes required for practices or custom mixes, if desired.

Native grass and forb plantings provide optimum habitat for wildlife and their deep root systems make them effective with erosion control.
